Introduction - Khaire Travelers

Welcome to my blog!

Here's a little about me

My name is MJ! I've got a few different names you can call me, and I use She/they/him pronouns.

I'm 18. My patron is Thanatos!

I praise pretty much all of the Greeks but I worship

Ares

Hephaestus

Apollo

Helios

If you want to talk you can dm me here or on Discord!

Rules

I'm pretty lenient just follow guidelines, try not to be rude, and try not to be too political.

Closing

Feel free to send asks and I'll answer the best I can! Please note that any information found on my blog shouldn't be used as an official source of info but I'll always try to link my sources.

With that, have Fun!

And Safe Travels Travelers!

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

devotional post for Ares, god of courage and chaotic, destructive war.

Do you happen to know any good websites/apps where I can learn Greek? Preferably ancient/older/etc Greek but modern spoken is good !! I want to learn it to strengthen my spiritual life, sorry if you're not the right person to ask - Entity

Unfortunately, I don't know of any. :( Tbh, I just use Duolingo and sometimes watch Greek media or read articles in Greek. I also happen to know some people who are fluent in Greek, so it's a bit easier for me to practice. An important part of learning a language is application! If anyone else has better suggestions, please feel free to give them! I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. ^^; Take care. 🧡

[khaire-traveler]

Actually, I want to add that keeping a journal (or multiple, in the future) for writing all the new Greek words and phrases you learn is super helpful! Make sure you're focusing on things like conjugations and tenses as well; that's very important when trying to learn a language (in my experience). You can get by on Duolingo and other apps, but I honestly don't recommend them as the only sources you learn from, just a place to start.

[sag-dab-sar]

Modern Greek (didn't collect ancient/older though. Older Koine Greek is easier to find just look for "Biblical Greek")

Some are free, some are paid, some of the paid ones have free versions with less features

Reminder for hellenic polytheists that xenia just means hospitality.

Just because you show someone hospitality doesn't mean you have to like them.

There is a difference between showing someone hospitality and liking them as a person.

I'm not obligated to like you just because of xenia.

No one is.

I don't like half of my bigoted ahh cousins and aunties but i still show them hospitality. You can disagree, sure. But hospitality isn't agreeing with some niche tumblr ideas that you hold.

Another thing. People who throw around the word xenia like it's some christian virtue should really look into deconstructing their idea of such concepts.

Update Post

Hello everyone! In my slow return to Tumblr I've updated my pinned post a little bit and now I'm wanting to make another info post. I have two ideas for short posts but if you have an idea feel free to comment it! Excited to see you all! ⭑One - Explaining what peaceful death means to me, understanding peaceful death. ⭑ Two - Explaining underworld epithets of Olympians and Lord Thanatos's epithets One will be a relatively short post but two will be longer. If you like me to make a post on another topic comment or reblog saying what you'd like me to post about! Both topics will done eventually.

What to post about?

Option Two

I know I posted about making a discord server earlier in the year and I apologize for the wait, life had other plans. The server is named The Temple Of Chthonic's. It's very small right now and not very active but hopefully those things will change. I hope to provide a community to talk, learn, and share resources. Hope to see some of you there!

Check out the Temple Of Chthonic's community on Discord - hang out with 14 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

Sick and tired of this being constantly thrown around to shame people but say it with me now

MIASMA 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 THE 👏 HELPOL 👏 EQUIVALENT 👏 OF 👏 SIN 👏

Miasma is a word used to describe rape, murder, evil things we should not do.

Sin is a violation of the Christian god's will.

Lyma is the inherent spiritual uncleanliness that comes with being human, NOT miasma. These two concepts have been falsely conflated. Lyma is what you use khernips for, not miasma. On that note, khernips is not necessary to get rid of lyma, just a shower or washing your hands is enough in today's modern age of cleanliness. Lyma is not evil either. Miasma is the spiritual equivalent of committing a crime, because you only get miasma upon committing something like murder or rape or what-have-you. Miasma is inherently evil.

Sin is not inherently evil because you are born with it and you can be saved. Miasma is inherently evil because it is the religious equivalent of crimes.

I say inherently because yes, some sin is evil, but not all sin is. To say “all” of something, whether in theology or history, is a big big BIG error unless it is quite literally 100%. People seem to have forgotten that too.

Most importantly, a lot of the religious historians we have are Christian and they put their Christian viewpoint on everything. That is why it's so important not to take everything in a resource super literally and to cross reference your sources.

Miasma is not "sin" because you can't compare two concepts that existed centuries apart from each other that may, to your modern eye in a world where christianity is the norm, look similar.

Stop spreading misinformation under the guise of miasma. Most importantly, stop sending asks to tumblr blogs to do your research for you. Google scholar is free. Internet archive is free. Got a question? Research it! Having trouble? Ask people for help! There's nothing wrong with asking someone's opinion on something but to take that person's opinion as law thereafter? Are we forgetting that we're sharing opinions and not facts and that facts need to have sources listed at the end?

The decline of research in pagan spaces and the steady rise of blindly believing what your favourite tumblr blog says is a dangerous fuel to the anti-intellectualism fire that's been burning for a few years now. I'll end this by saying that this post is not targeted, but if you feel targeted, then I think you have a bit of self reflection to do.

[oscars-wayfinder]

so, i’m making some notes on the Theoi on notion, and i was thinking maybe i could share them here when ive finished some of them

so i have a little poll to gauge interest cuz i don’t wanna post them and get zero traction LMAO

would you be interested in seeing my notes?

yes

no

depends on the deity (comment)

Voting ended onSep 16, 2025

i’m currently working on Apollon’s page but i’m planning on making a page for every major deity, some minor deities, some titans and primordial deities, and some heroes (i currently have 57 total in my list)

most of the non-major deities will be just ones i’m personally interested in but if there’s enough people interested i might consider taking requests

[jaysblogplace]

Would love to see this when it's finished! 💜

[sleepnowmychild]

*me realising some death themed items (skull/coffin trinkets) have started accumulating next to Hypnos' altar*

Thanatos: shhh don't think too hard about it... I'm just checking in on my twin... yeah, that's it. A candle would be nice though.

[whispersoftheharvest]

top 5 moots bcoz i need ppl to follow...

I’m lumping my main group of kids as one:

@wingsofaphrodite @edensvessel @altis-of-olympia @seasaltdevotion

@daphne-chthonia - Mostly focuses on her relationship with Dionysus and Ariadne! But (I think) she has one or two side blogs (hi mom!)

@pixilatedwitchery - Helpol and witchcraft! They are currently on hiatus-ish

@jaysblogplace - Doesn’t post often but is a rare Thanatos devotee (I think?)

@whats-the-word-again - Into many things and is just cool

[jaysblogplace]

Thanks for the tag, I'm hoping to start posting on tumblr more often soon

Rebloging for my followers cause if you like me you'll probably like these folks too

[mistermaenad]

Beautiful butterfly that landed outside my window while on my lunch break

I saw it and it reminded me of Thanatos

If the gods can see our internet posts at all, I hope he sees this and knows how I appreciate him, as he is a vital part of life that keeps it in balance

And I feel the butterfly being sacred to him (as butterflies represent souls) is poetic, honestly. How something so pretty can be associated with something that can be so scary
